So, I take Rocco with me to a packed restroom at DeAndre's basketball game. I proceed to use the facilities when my charming 2 year old, who is learning all about body parts, pats my bum and rather loudly proclaims, "MOMMY'S BUTT" over and over again...I tried coughing, laughing and talking to drown him out. He kept repeating it waiting to be praised for "getting it right."

Last night we went to watch DeAndre's basketball game...This little old cleaning lady grabbed her trash bag and started limping up the bleachers to clean up the trash that JERKS leave all over the place. I noticed her and felt a twinge of sadness...she should be home resting, sewing, watching movies etc...alas, I actually dressed up and am wearing boots with a heel and can barely walk myself. I pack up Roman and look for Olivia. Olivia is cleaning up the bleachers...her and the elderly lady...together. Oh, be still my heart...she has continued to teach me life lessons with her compassionate and kind nature.

Update on our baby Roman. Roman is one week shy of being 4 months old. Matt and I are amazed at his sweet and loving disposition. (no offense to Rocco but he was a difficult baby) Roman always has a smile, coo or cuddle for everyone! Once eye contact is made, his whole face lights up. It is so sweet and heartfelt. He does complain to let us know he's hungry or bored...but even through his complaint he is smiling at you! Who does that? My angel Roman, that's who!

Little Livvy Latin Lou

She has always been Miss Independent! Her gifts are many but her generous spirit and unconditional acceptance and love for others set her apart. She works hard, is incredibly grateful for her charmed life and gives back with ease. We are so proud of her example of simple kindness. We hope she stays home forever!

DeAndre is 17. He is handsome and charming and is easy to adore. We are proud of his athletic accomplishments, his energy and his love of life. He makes parenting easy. His life is one big highlight reel and we are excited to be in it!

Rocco Love

Our little sunshine is now 4! He is bright eyed and sassy, sensitive and sweet. And just like his mommy, he calls it like he sees it! What a joy and a delightful challenge he is!

RoRo

Our sweetest baby is 2! He gives love so freely and sweetly that we are convinced he is an angel. He is wise beyond his years and teaches us about life in a new way everyday. He is truly a precious being. What a perfect addition to our family!

About Me

We are not your conventional family. If there is a "right way" to create a family, we did the opposite! We live life on our terms, we love and embrace each other as is.

We believe that peace in our home creates peaceful, loving people that will flourish in life. This remains our constant aim...may peace be with you.
